mtd: use refcount to prevent corruption

2023-07-12T11:30:08+00:00

When underlying device is removed mtd core will crash in case user space is holding open handle. Need to use proper refcounting so device is release only when has no users.

mtd: allow getting MTD device associated with a specific DT node

2022-09-24T12:54:37+00:00

MTD subsystem API allows interacting with MTD devices (e.g. reading, writing, handling bad blocks). So far a random driver could get MTD device only by its name (get_mtd_device_nm()). This change allows getting them also by a DT node. This API is required for drivers handling DT defined MTD partitions in a specific way (e.g. U-Boot (sub)partition with environment variables).

mtd: add ECC error accounting for each read request

2022-09-21T08:38:09+00:00

Extend struct mtd_req_stats with two new fields holding the number of corrected bitflips and uncorrectable errors detected during a read operation. This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing those counters to user space, where they can be useful to applications for making better-informed choices about moving data around. Unlike 'max_bitflips' (which is set - in a common code path - to the return value of a function called while the MTD device's mutex is held), these counters have to be maintained in each MTD driver which defines the '_read_oob' callback because the statistics need to be calculated while the MTD device's mutex is held.

mtd: track maximum number of bitflips for each read request

2022-09-21T08:38:05+00:00

mtd_read_oob() callers are currently oblivious to the details of ECC errors detected during the read operation - they only learn (through the return value) whether any corrected bitflips or uncorrectable errors occurred. More detailed ECC information can be useful to user-space applications for making better-informed choices about moving data around. Extend struct mtd_oob_ops with a pointer to a newly-introduced struct mtd_req_stats and set its 'max_bitflips' field to the maximum number of bitflips found in a single ECC step during the read operation performed by mtd_read_oob(). This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing that value back to user space.

mtd: fix 'part' field data corruption in mtd_info

2022-04-21T07:29:05+00:00

Commit 46b5889cc2c5 ("mtd: implement proper partition handling") started using "mtd_get_master_ofs()" in mtd callbacks to determine memory offsets by means of 'part' field from mtd_info, what previously was smashed accessing 'master' field in the mtd_set_dev_defaults() method. That provides wrong offset what causes hardware access errors. Just make 'part', 'master' as separate fields, rather than using union type to avoid 'part' data corruption when mtd_set_dev_defaults() is called.

mtd: core: Remove partid and partname debugfs files

2022-03-14T16:01:58+00:00

partid and partname debugfs files were used just by SPI NOR, but they were replaced by sysfs entries. Since these debugfs files are no longer used in mtd, remove dead code. The directory is kept as it is used by nandsim, mtdswap and docg3.

mtd: Replace the expert mode symbols with a single helper

2022-02-07T15:36:11+00:00

Reduce the number of exported symbols by replacing: - mtd_expert_analysis_warning (the error string) - mtd_expert_analysis_mode (the boolean) with a single helper: - mtd_check_expert_analysis_mode Calling this helper will both check/return the content of the internal boolean -which is not exported anymore- and as well conditionally WARN_ONCE() the user, like it was done before. While on this function, make the error string local to the helper and set it const. Only export this helper when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is defined to limit the growth of the Linux kernel size only for a debug feature on production kernels. Mechanically update all the consumers.

mtd: Introduce an expert mode for forensics and debugging purposes

2021-12-09T16:51:59+00:00

When developping NAND controller drivers or when debugging filesystem corruptions, it is quite common to need hacking locally into the MTD/NAND core in order to get access to the content of the bad blocks. Instead of having multiple implementations out there let's provide a simple yet effective specific MTD-wide debugfs entry to fully disable these checks on purpose. A warning is added to inform the user when this mode gets enabled. Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20211118114659.1282855-1-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com
